Senator Levin: Unemployment not my focus

By Adam de Angeli

When Mike Stark for Firedoglake asks Sen. Carl Levin whether he is concerned that Bernanke isn’t focusing enough on maintaining maximum employment, the Senator responded, “That’s not been one of the questions I’ve focused on. I’ve focused on other issues.”

Straight from the horse’s mouth: “Who cares whether Bernanke’s doing his job or unemployment is out of control.”

Editor’s note: Levin went on to vote for both cloture and final confirmation.
